One more time .... The Next 6 Months important in Iraq ..... The Guardian
Iraqis still don't have a plan ..... fucking great.

"But they're still trying to figure out what's the plan ..."

Military chiefs give US six months to win Iraq war

· Violence expected to rise after UK withdrawal
· Troop numbers too low
· Coalition is 'disintegrating'

The main obstacles confronting Gen Petraeus's team are:
· Insufficent numbers of troops on the ground
· A "disintegrating" international coalition
· An anticipated upsurge in violence in the south as the British leave
· Morale problems as casualties rise
· A failure of political will in Washington and/or Baghdad

"The scene is very tense. They are working round the clock. Endless cups of tea with the Iraqis,"
the former senior administration official said. "But they're still trying to figure out what's the plan.

5. But this 6 months I now have some skin in the game ...
... a good friend's son ... all of 19 or 20.

He was sent Feb 1 2007 and his base has already been hit twice.
Poor guy he is a hummer driver too.

Send Karen Hughes' son, the Twins, Jeb's spawn from hell, college
repugs, Freepers (you can be 42), and so on.

6 fucking months give me a break.

BULLSHIT
